We study the dynamics of point electric charges undergoing radiation reaction force due to synchrotron radiation in the presence of external uniform magnetic field. The radiation reaction force cannot be neglected in many physical situations and its presence modifies the equations of motion significantly. The exact form of the equation of motion known as the Lorentz-Dirac equation contains higher order Schott term which leads to the appearance of the runaway solutions. We demonstrate effective computational ways to avoid such unphysical solutions and perform numerical integration of the dynamical equations. We show that in the ultrarelativistic case the Schott term is small and does not have considerable effect to the trajectory of a particle. We compare results with the covariant Landau-Lifshitz equation which is the first iteration of the Lorentz-Dirac equation. Even though the Landau-Lifshitz equation is thought to be approximative solution, we show that in realistic scenarios both approaches lead to identical results.
